WINTER WONDERLAND THEME

Parents get a free day to go holiday shopping & kids have a fun day at robotics camp!

FIRST RoboCamps is a robotics activity program held at Macquarie University for school years K-12. This program is an exciting and engaging series of robotics-based holiday and weekend camps. From Beginner to Advanced camps, our RoboCamps utilize LEGO Mindstorms EV3 technology. FIRSTRoboCamps will take you from A-Z, creating a robotics pro in no time!

For the 2018 December holiday shopping season, we are offering single day robotics workshops for beginners! All camps are held on Macquarie University Campus, on the second level of Building E6A (9 Eastern Road), from 9:00am - 5:00pm (including drop off and pick up).

RoboCamps are partnership of FIRST Australia - an organisation that works to support robotics programs for students all over Australia the world, FIRST FRC Team 3132, the 2017 World Championship Chairman’s Award Winners, & Macquarie University. For more information, please contact Wynonah Bush: robocamps@ausfirst.org.

FIRST Australia offers team-based competition throughout the year delivered via four age appropriate programs for schools, community groups & home school students: FIRST LEGO League Junior (ages 6 – 9), FIRST LEGO League (ages 9 – 16), FIRST Tech Challenge (ages 14 – 16), & FIRSTRobotics Competition (ages 14 – 16). For more information on how your student, school or community group can get involved, please visit www.firstaustralia.org

All facilitators/instructors are trained and certified to work with children. Adults supervise and oversee the day-to-day operations. We also use experienced high school students from Macquarie University's most prestigious robotics program; these students are some of the brightest robotics minds we know! They will be helping with technical issues during the camp.

Students must be registered for their matching school year/peer group, regardless of child’s level of competency. Each camp session is individually catered to smaller group activities led by mentors based on the small group levels & cumulative experience.
